Abstract:
This is the third in a series of articles devoted to a simplified description of experimental design, statistical analysis, and interpretation. The present article deals with an overview of time to event methods, the importance of censored information, and the utilization of survival methods with three concrete examples. These methods can be used to design experiments with increased power to detect significant differences. Experiments planned with time to event methods usually have reduced sample size requirements.
